Provoke Camera

I love retro Japanese photography so this is a dream! Also, it works just fine on my iPad pro despite the description saying not for iPad. Such a great app!!

Shows a splash screen, accesses the camera, then, eventually, crashes. Needs an update. Also - App Support link is broken.

Wha?! Where are all the reviews this deserves? Awesome B&W camera! Beautiful film that you just cannot get anywhere nowadays. I easily managed a beautifully grainy bokeh effect behind my subject – no other app can pull off what I mean. Extremely easy to use, practically zero learning curve, no clutter. This is for when you want to actually take nice pictures rather than point and shoot and then drown your shot in digital effects to a point beyond recognition. For some reason, produces insanely sharp images of subjects almost touching the lens, pseudo-macro ability. Separate manual focus and exposure that you can slide around with your finger is a nice touch. I would like to have a zoom on this. Edited to request manual control of the lens selection on iPhone7+. If we could override the automatic lens selection in iOS and force the use of the 56mm lens even when not making portraits, this app would be perfection and deserve five stars.

There’s a lot I could say about the special aesthetic of this camera app. For now, though, leave it at this: I wish everyone who’s complained in these reviews about bugginess had contacted the developer directly instead of giving up. The experience of myself and others is that Mr. Tambo responds personally and is keenly interested in problem-solving. He also updates well enough, considering this is probably a small boutique-y operation. No, I’m not related or a business partner. I’ve used this app a lot over many iPhones. On my current iPhone 12 Pro Max, Provoke is giving me pics that are as artful as ever, trouble-free.

Provoke no longer saves JPEG images to my Photos (Camera Roll) since the iPhone iOS 16 Update. Now it only saves HEIC images. Previously it saved JPEG. This was a 5-Star app… now down to 1-Star. Sure would be nice if this glitch, or whatever it is, would be fixed. Thanks! Then back up to 5-Stars.

The best black-and-white hi grainy grit contrast iPhone camera in the market.

The filters on this app are awesome but there is a perceptible delay between pressing the shutter and the app taking the pic. 5 stars if that gets ironed out. Competitor app Argentum doesn’t have this problem.

It simply doesn’t work all the time. It’s so incredibly frustrating. I often delete and reinstall, but even that doesn’t always get it working. What I mean when I say “working” is that it seems to be taking a photo, but it actually does not.

Piece of crap! LOST MY ORIGINAL PROVOKE APP AND THAT IS WHY I NEVER UPDATE APPS! SHOULD'VE TRUSTED MY REASONS!! WAS BEST BLK/W APP! PO'd!!!!

Provoke Camera is one of my favorite camera apps. I love the different B+W filters (especially the high contrast ones) and love the stark atmosphere it gives my pictures. I was sad and worried when I was unable to use it for a long time because it would immediately shut down after starting up. Apparently a lot of other users had the same problem. About a month or so ago the app was updated but it still couldn’t get the app to open. What I ended up doing was deleting the app and reinstalling it and the app started working again. If you’re still having problems getting the app to open, try deleting and reinstalling it. Hopefully that will help!
